Holding aloft placards inscribed with anti-extremism, pro-Pakistan and pro-Musharraf slogans, scores of people on Wednesday took up the cudgels on behalf of the 'silent majority' in the country and said 'no' to terrorism and lawlessness with one voice at a programme held at the Karachi Press Club on Thursday evening. The million march announced by the religious parties fizzled to a rally, thousands of agitators massed in Karachi on Friday to condemn US-led strikes against Afghanistan. They marched from Namaish Chowrangi to Capri Cinema and dispersed peacefully later on. Maulana Samiul Haq, head of the Afghanistan Defence Council, a coalition of religious parties, while addressing the rally said “Musharraf should resign and leave the country”, otherwise they will launch a big movement to remove him from power. Syed Munawar Hussain of Jama’at-e-Islami and Hafiz Hussain Ahmed of JUI also addressed the rally. The leaders of the council threatened “a march on Islamabad” for which date will be announced later.
